Dial-In Street Performance for Your Honda Civic

The Tein GSH98-9USS2 Street Advance Z coilover kit gives Honda Civic owners a direct upgrade path from worn OE dampers to a fully height-adjustable, twin-tube coilover system. Built around Tein's 16-way damping adjustment dial, the GSH98-9USS2 lets you fine-tune compression and rebound to match daily commuting, weekend canyon runs, or light track days without swapping hardware. Every GSH98-9USS2 kit ships with Tein's No-Sag springs and TEIN-Green powder-coated shell cases, so the GSH98-9USS2 holds its ride height and finish long after installation.

Key Features

  • Twin-tube damper system for a longer stroke, smaller repulsive force, and high ride comfort
  • 16-way damping force adjustment dial lets you dial in compression and rebound feel for street or spirited driving
  • Ride height adjustable via the lower spring seat, independent of damping settings
  • No-Sag Spring cold-formed from SAE9254 steel with a minimum tensile strength of 200 kgf/mm2
  • TEIN-Green two-layer, one-bake powder coating (Japanese patent 4347712) for durable, solvent-free corrosion protection
  • ZTP-coated ride-height adjustment threads resist abrasion and rust-seizure over time
  • High-performance damper oil formulated for stable viscosity, anti-foaming, and cavitation resistance across temperature swings
  • EDFC-compatible on applicable vehicles for optional remote damping control
